LEF Co-Presidents Deb Rourke and Sue Schiffer warmed the audience up with a gracious welcome. Bee Committee Chairwomen Jill Hai, Christina Cohen and Tanya Morrisett outlined the rules and highlighted the event sponsors. Paul Ash then introduced the Bee Officials: Master of Ceremonies Jeff Leonard (LHS Director of Performing Arts); Judges Ann Carothers (Principal, Diamond Middle School), Doug Cohen, and Betty Gau (Questions Committee, LEF Trivia Bee); Timekeeper Tom Martellone (Principal of Fiske Elementary School); and Queen Bee Thelma Goldberg (Director, Dance Inn). The competition was steep and the final round was a well-fought battle of wits. After several questions, the "The EGgHeads" (Jonathan Cronin, John Santos and Bert O'Brien) won by correctly answering, "What wheel did Blaise Pascal invent in a search for perpetual motion?" with the response of the roulette wheel. This year's Bee was a roaring success for the decidedly non-trivial matter of supporting our schools, our children, and our educators. Schiffer remarked, "We are so grateful for the continued generosity that members of the Lexington community show LEF each year through their participation and support of this town-wide tradition." The Trivia Bee raises over $16, 000 annually to support grant programs for the Lexington Public Schools.
